“Tess was amazingly helpful with my dog, Boston!! He is a big dog with a lot of energy and I always worry that he might be a lot to handle for anyone coming over, and this was my first experience using Rover. Everything went seamlessly and I couldn’t recommend Tess enough!!”


“Alex bonded with my dog Sunny as she started following him from room to room. I made me happy since she is a very shy dog that does not easily take to people. Alex did a great job with her and I will hire him again should I go out of town. He was very professional and kept me updated about how she was doing and sent pictures. As a side note he even found my lost TV remote. Thanks Alex”


“Anna is a super sweet girl and does a great a job with our pups! She keeps our house very clean and our hyper pups are calmer than normal when we return and happy as could be! I am very at ease knowing she takes such good care of everything while we are away. Thanks again for everything Anna!!”


“Lawrence took great care of our dog and house while we were away— would definitely recommend him! Our dog is often anxious around new people but she liked him pretty much immediately.”


“Asia was very communicative throughout the weekend watching Josie! She asked questions in advance and wanted to know how to make my dog feel the most comfortable. I would definitely book her again in the future!”


About: Hi! I’m Olivia 🐾 I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter who loves making tails wag! I have experience with dogs and of all sizes and personalities, and I treat every pet like part of my family. I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them all the love and care they deserve! I work many part time jobs right now but am available most weekday mornings and evenings. Would love to assist on weekends I’m available as well! I absolutely love dogs and giving them all the cuddles they deserve! My goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and incredibly loved in your home. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles, and make sure their routine with meals, walks, and any special needs is followed carefully. Your furry friend will be treated like family, and I promise to care for them with love and dedication every step of the way!


“Ashley did an amazing job. Tons of photos and updates of our cat and puppy. She also cleaned our home(kitchen and floors) which was SUCH a treat to come home to after travel! She was amazing!”


“Julia is the best! This was our second time booking her and she hasn’t disappointed. We got lots of pupdates and they were very happy when we got home.”


About: Hi all! I’m Jen. I teach preschool and kindergarten in the mornings, and in the afternoon/evenings I enjoy spending my time working with animals. I have many years of experience petsitting and housesitting, as well as doing drop-in visits for cats and walks for dogs. I currently have one cat of my own, but I’ve had dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and chinchillas in the past. Please reach out to me with any questions! I look forward to caring for your animals. I am available for overnight care in your home, as well as drop-in visits or walks in the afternoons and evenings. I do not offer boarding or care in my home at this time. I have years of experience working with clients in their homes through babysitting and petsitting. I will treat your pets wonderfully and your house with respect.

“I was super hesitant to have a sitter in house for my pup because I was scared of my house being a wreck when I came back. Thankfully, this fear did not come true with Mary as a sitter. They were clean and kept my apartment how I left it… if not better. They sent me quite a few update pictures of my pup, and just regular updates in general. They also made sure my pup was okay with plenty of water in the time it was going to take me to get home after they left. Your pup will be in good hands with Mary!”


About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!

“Allison was our first cat sitter to also stay in our home, and we are so happy we found her! From the moment we submitted our request in Rover, Allison was terrific in her communication and warmth. She immediately offered to come meet us before we completed our booking, and this gave me comfort given I’ve never had a house sitter before. Our cat really needs human interaction and love, and Allison definitely provided that and more. We returned home to a very happy boy and a very organized place - maybe more organized than when we left! We will definitely book Allison again for our next trip.”


“Jared was great. He is fantastic with the dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and updates daily. We would 100% recommend him to take care of our animals and house.”


About: I have worked with animals since I was in middle school. I enjoy being around animals and I want the best for them. I am certified and very good at what I do. I am currently working part time and also homeschooling my children so I will have ample time to care for your companion. I am available everyday after 3pm but sometimes I have morning's open as well. Communication is key with me so we can work something out so everyone is happy. I have learned fear free tactics that can help with introductions and getting comfortable. I can easily crate if needed and will calm down any stressful environment.

“Catelyn was the perfect dog sitter. She is so communicative, kind-hearted, attentive to detail and pleasant to work with. We just moved to a new neighborhood and had to go out of town for a week. We were hesitant, as our pups are still adjusting to their new house and routine. Catelyn was extremely patient and followed instructions thoroughly. She sent excellent updates and photos and has a very prompt response time. She left our dear pups very happy and well cared for. Our house was neat and tidy upon our return. We would feel great hiring Catelyn again!”


“Shayelle took fantastic care of Stella (and our house)! She checked in with concerns and sent pics to let us know how they were doing. She put our minds at ease while we were out of town. Would absolutely recommend.”
